Masjid Diraja Teluk Blangah, Royal mosque in Maritime Square, Singapore
Description
Masjid Diraja Teluk Blangah is a mosque with a distinctive pentagonal shape located on Telok Blangah Road in Singapore's maritime district. The building accommodates up to 1,500 worshippers and features separate spaces for male and female visitors, each with its own entrance.
History
The site originally functioned as a royal residence for Temenggong Abdul Rahman during Singapore's early years before being converted into a mosque in 1993. This change marked an important shift in how the historically significant location was used.
Culture
The mosque serves as a spiritual gathering space for the local Muslim community and visitors who come to experience quiet contemplation and prayer. Its architectural design and landscaping create an atmosphere where people can find moments of reflection away from the surrounding city.
Practical
Visitors should be aware that the mosque follows specific prayer times and that appropriate dress is required when entering. It is helpful to check in advance about accessibility and any guidelines for non-Muslim visitors.
Did you know?
The grounds contain a royal mausoleum where members of the Johor royal family are interred in ornately designed burial chambers. This historic burial site adds a deeper, dynastic significance to the location.
